Pros

Very helpful coworkers, diverse environment, supervisors are very accessible. Good benefits once you are granted permanency. Overall its a good job if you are young, quick to learn, and dont have kids. There is potential for growth, Ive witnessed it. You need great phone manner and patience, though, because clients can be rude, annoying, and utterly unknowledgeable about what they are talking about. So if you have a bad attitude or are not much of a friendly person, you will most likely be terminated at some point because each call is monitored, lol.

Cons

Company policies are overly enforced and a bit extreme. As far as time and attendance, its worse than high school. There is a whacky and obscure point system employees must abide by, otherwise it will affect their time and attendence or "adherence" as maximus calls it. In training whichbis three weeks you cannot be a minute late. If your late even by a minute two times, youre fired. You also cannot miss any days. If you are sick, you better get to work or look for another job. They would.probably throw a doctors note in a shredder. Basically if you are not dying, there are no excxused absences. You cannot clock in early, not even by 2 minutes. Its gotta be on the dot.. I feel constantly watched and micromanaged. There is no transparency in this company. The computer system needs to be improved. It will randomly clock an employee out and it counts against you. So basically you have to make sure the system isnt screwing up, Id say once every 10 minutes. Oh and managers never follow dresscode.

Pros

In this economy, pays better than most jobs that do not require a college education. Supervisors and Managers are nice people but at the end of the day it's policy, policy, policy, and you as a person is not really taken into consideration.

Cons

Although pay is better than some companies pay people with no higher education, they are still not paying cost of living. They do not increase compensation for those who have a degree. Benefits are terrible. This company has a contract with the state to handle the health plans for consumers receiving Medicaid, yet they do not offer HMO's to their employees. Only PPO's with high premiums and deductibles even just to see your providers. No vacation, sick or personal time. You accrue about 5 hrs every pay period and you must use this time for everything. You are not allowed to take the day without pay, you must have a serious situation and you must provide documentation or you may be reprimanded or terminated.
